FREEZONE BIBLE ASSOCIATION TECH POST

Academy Level IV Coursepack: Part 4 of 7

***************************************

Thanksgiving time is here.

We at FZ Bible Association would like to give thanks to Ron for
leaving us a bounty of Tech.

And celebrate by disseminating it freely to all.

In that spirit we bring you the Level 4 coursepack, from the
late 80's.

Happy Turkey Day,

-Tech Lion

********************

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

Our purpose is to promote religious freedom and the Scientology
Religion by spreading the Scientology Tech across the internet.

The Cof$ abusively suppresses the practice and use of
Scientology Tech by FreeZone Scientologists.  It misuses the
copyright laws as part of its suppression of religious freedom.

They think that all freezoners are "squirrels" who should be
stamped out as heretics.  By their standards, all Christians,
Moslems, Mormons, and even non-Hassidic Jews would be considered
to be squirrels of the Jewish Religion.

The writings of LRH form our Old Testament just as the writings
of Judaism form the Old Testament of Christianity.

We might not be good and obedient Scientologists according
to the definitions of the Cof$ whom we are in protest against.

But even though the Christians are not good and obedient Jews,
the rules of religious freedom allow them to have their old
testament regardless of any Jewish opinion.

We ask for the same rights, namely to practice our religion
as we see fit and to have access to our holy scriptures
without fear of the Cof$ copyright terrorists.

We ask for others to help in our fight.  Even if you do
not believe in Scientology or the Scientology Tech, we hope
that you do believe in religious freedom and will choose
to aid us for that reason.

Thank You,

The FZ Bible Association

                         TWO TYPES OF PTSes

The very first step in handling a potential trouble source is
educating him in the fundamentals of PTS/SP tech with a PTS
C/S-1.

In the absence of this education, the PTS person may not
understand what is being asked of him, may not understand his
condition, may not spot the correct SP and he may not recover.
You may get people asserting they are not PTS, who yet do not
even know what the letters "PTS" stand for.

The PTS C/S-1 is a very short action for most pcs. Its purpose is
to educate the PTS person in the basics of PTS/SP tech so that he
understands what PTSness is. Once he is educated, you can do a
PTS interview (per HCOB 24 Apr. 72 I, C/S Series 79, PTS INTERVIEWS)
or a PTS handling (per HCOB 10 Aug. 73, PTS HANDLING).

The steps of the PTS C/S-1 as given in this HCOB must be completed
on all PTS persons before any sort of PTS interview or handling or
any PTS auditing is undertaken.

              QUALIFICATIONS

Anyone delivering the PTS C/S-1 must have a Qual okay to do Word
Clearing, must have high crime checked out on this issue and must
be familiar enough with the

PTS/SP materials so that he can quickly find the source
references to answer any pc questions.

             WHERE DELIVERED

The PTS C/S-1 is normally done in session by the pc's auditor as
part of the pc's auditing intensive, or by the De-PTSer or Ethics
Officer who is working with the PTS person. In cases where the
person who needs the PTS C/S-1 is not on auditing lines and whose
De-PTSer or Ethics Officer is not yet qualified to do the Word
Clearing actions then the person should be routed by Qual I&I to
the Qual Word Clearer who can deliver the PTS C/S-1.

             FURTHER HATTING

After the person has discovered to what or to whom he is PTS, it
is necessary to educate him on any further specific actions or
handlings you will be doing with him. For example, if he were to
decide to disconnect from an actual SP in his environment, you
would have him study HCOB 10 Sept. 83, PTSness AND DISCONNECTION,
ensuring that he fully understands it (using Word Clearing as
necessary).

The full PTS/SP Course checksheet, which is studied in a course
room, must be part of the PTS person's PTS handling program. This
course is designed to give him the full mechanics of the
condition that has doubtless been playing havoc with his life.
But the PTS C/S-1 will give him sufficient data and understanding
to be able to receive a PTS interview or handling.

               MATERIALS

Have the following materials available before beginning the PTS
C/S-1:

  Dianetics and Scientology Technical Dictionary

  Modern Management Technology Defined

  Basic Dictionary of Dianetics and Scientology

  A good English dictionary

  For a foreign-language case, a good dictionary in the pc's
  native language and a dual dictionary (English to foreign
  language and foreign language to English)

  PTS/SP Course Pack (as reference material)

  Demo kit.

           PTS C/S-1 PROCEDURE

I. Word Clearing

With the pc on the meter, word clear Method 5 each of the
following terms (Ref: HCOB 21 June 72 I, Word Clearing Series 38,
METHOD 5). Definitions for each of these words can be found in
the attachment to this HCOB.

  Hostile
  Antagonistic
  Invalidate
  Suppress
  Suppression
  Suppressive Acts
  Suppressive Persons
  Suppressive Groups
  Problem
  Roller-coaster
  Potential Trouble Source (PTS)

  1. Ask "What is the definition of ________?"

  2. Have him demo the definition to ensure he has a good
  understanding of it (not glib).

  3. Have him make up sentences using the term correctly until
     you are sure he knows it.

  4. Have him give you examples of how the term could apply in
     life.

Cover by exact definition all terms used and take each word
cleared to an F/N.

Check for any questions (or misunderstoods) as you go along and
ensure any such get handled so the pc winds up with a full
conceptual understanding of each word. (Ref: HCOB 7 Sept. 74,
Word Clearing Series 54, SUPERLITERACY AND THE CLEARED WORD)

II. Study of Basic Data on SPs and PTSness

Have the pc read each of the issues listed below. Pcs with little
or no prior training in Scientology should read The Volunteer
Minister's Handbook chapter listed in parentheses after the
issue's title.

Ensure the pc understands what he is reading. Check for any
questions or misunderstoods as you go along and ensure any such
get handled so the pc winds up with a clear understanding of the
material.

Have him demo and give examples of the main ideas of each issue
to ensure he has a thorough grasp of each, including how it
applies to life and livingness.

Consult his understanding and ensure he really has the data.

If the pc says he has studied the issue before and knows it, then
simply check him out on the issue and have him demo the main
points to ensure that he does in fact know it. If the checkout
shows that he doesn't have the data, word clear him on the issue
and check him out again until he has it.

Personality -- the Anti-Scientologist" on page 239 of The
Volunteer Minister's Handbook.)

2. HCOB 12 Mar. 68   MISTAKES, ANATOMY OF

(Untrained pcs should read the chapter entitled "Mistakes,
Anatomy of" on page 261 of The Volunteer Minister's Handbook.)

3. HCOB 10 Aug. 73   PTS HANDLING

(Untrained pcs should read the chapter "PTS Handling" on page 261
of The Volunteer Minister's Handbook.)

4. HCO PL 20 Oct. 81R  PTS TYPE A HANDLING, section entitled
"Don't Create Antagonism"

(Untrained pcs should read "Don't Create Antagonism" on page 266
of The Volunteer Minister's Handbook.)

                ----------

Educating a PTS is the first step in putting him at cause over
his PTS situation. He must then be gotten to discover to whom or
what he is PTS and then coached through the PTS handling. (Ref:
HCOB 10 Aug. 73, PTS HANDLING, and HCOB 8 Mar. 83, HANDLING PTS
SITUATIONS)

Full PTS handling includes having the person do the PTS/SP Course
in a standard Scientology course room.

If all these steps are done thoroughly, that may well be the end
of PTSness for that person. It can surely spell the end of the
situation at hand.

ATTACHMENT

         PTS C/S-1 DEFINITIONS SHEET

Hostile: Unfriendly, showing dislike.

Antagonistic: Showing or feeling opposition or hostility.

Invalidate: To refute or degrade or discredit or deny something
someone else considers to be fact.

Suppress: To squash, to sit on, to make smaller, to refuse to let
reach, to make uncertain about his reaching, to render less
powerful or lessen in any way possible by any means possible, to
the harm of the individual and for the fancied protection of a
suppressive person.

Suppression: Suppression is "a harmful intention or action
against which one cannot fight back." Thus, when one can do
anything about it, it is less suppressive.

Suppressive Acts: Actions or omissions undertaken to knowingly
suppress, reduce or impede Scientology or Scientologists.

Suppressive Person (SP): A person with certain behavior
characteristics who suppresses other people in his vicinity.

Suppressive Group: A group which seeks to destroy Scientology or
which specializes in injuring or killing persons or damaging
their cases or which advocates suppression of mankind.

Problem: An intention-counter-intention that worries the person.

  Intention: wanting to do something, purpose.
  Counter: against or opposing.
  Counter-Intention: an opposing intention.
  Example: Joe wants to become a musician (intention).
  His father wants him to become a doctor (counter-intention).
  This worries Joe and it is a problem.

Roller-coaster: Gets better, gets worse, gets better, gets worse.
A person who is roller-coastering is always connected to a
suppressive person and will not get steady gain until the
suppressive is found.

Potential Trouble Source (PTS):

a. Somebody who is connected with an SP who is invalidating him,
his beingness, his processing, his life.

b. Someone connected to a person or a group opposed to
Scientology. It is a technical thing. It results in illness and
roller coaster and is the cause of illness and roller coaster.
Because the case doesn't get well, he or she is a potential
trouble source to us, to others and to himself,

c. Persons intimately connected with persons (such as marital or
familial ties) of known antagonism to mental or spiritual
treatment or Scientology. In practice such persons, even when
they approach Scientology in a friendly fashion, have such
pressure continually brought to bear upon them by persons with
undue influence over them that they make very poor gains in
processing, and their interest is solely devoted to proving the
antagonistic element wrong.

PTS Type One: A PTS condition whereby the SP on the case is right
in present time, actively suppressing the person. This type of
situation is normally handled by an Ethics Officer.

PTS Type Two: A PTS condition in which the apparent SP in present
time is only a restimulator for the actual suppressive. This type
of PTS condition is handled by an auditor, in session.

PTS Type Three: A condition whereby the Type Two PTS person's
apparent SP is spread all over the world and is often more than
all the people there are. Such a person sometimes has "ghosts" or
"demons" about him and they are just more apparent SPs, but
imaginary as beings as well. The handling for such a condition is
to provide a relatively safe environment and quiet and rest,
until such time as the person is able to effectively be audited.

THIS HANDLING IS DONE BY THE ETHICS OFFICER OF AN ORG OR THE HAS
OR IN THEIR ABSENCE BY THE QUAL SEC.

It is actually an interview with the suspected PTS person. It is
often done on an E-Meter to assist the verification of data.

If a PTS situation actually exists, the interview must result in
a written program agreed upon by the person, with copies to the
person and to his ethics file.

As the person does the steps of the program, he reports their
accomplishment to the org officer who interviewed him.

If the person fails to do the program or the program results in
no real change in the situation, the interviewing officer must
investigate thoroughly to find out what the person is doing
instead of the program and check for any communication he may
have sent which continued the upset, and get this corrected at
once. He must also ensure the PTS A person is handling the
correct antagonistic person. (Example: PTS person Jones may have
thought the antagonism was coming from Smith, whereas Smith's
upset is being kept alive by Smith's associate, Doakes, who has
disagreements with and/or misunderstoods on Scientology.)

If the handling program is drawn up standardly and yet the person
is sour on it or "doesn't want to do the handling" or never seems
to quite get around to doing the program, then the Ethics Officer
would suspect that either

a. a wrong item had been found, which would require an L4BRA done
by an auditor in session to handle (Refs: HCOB 24 Nov. 65, SEARCH
AND DISCOVERY, and tape 6510C14, SH68, "Briefing to Review
Auditors")

b. the program had been misimplemented (the pc didn't really
understand what he was to do, was miscoached on the steps of the
handling, or he "did the handling" in such a way as to create
further antagonism rather than ease it, requiring a thorough
review of the situation and handling of whatever is found).
(Refs: HCOB 8 Mar. 83, HANDLING PTS SITUATIONS; HCOB 24 Apr. 72
I, C/S Series 79, PTS INTERVIEWS; HCOB 24 Nov. 65, SEARCH AND
DISCOVERY)

If (a) and (b) above have been thoroughly checked into by the
Ethics Officer to ensure that any nonstandard application has
been corrected and there is still no change in the situation
(i.e., the antagonism and upset continue), the PTS person would
then disconnect. And if the person does need to disconnect, the
HCOB 10 Sept. 83, PTSness AND DISCONNECTION, must be followed
exactly.

Fortunately, standard PTS Type A handling does handle the
majority of these situations. When disconnection is required,
very often that is enough to handle the PTSness.

Should the condition persist, however, then the interviewing
officer must require the person to have auditing on the subject
(a PTS Rundown given by a qualified auditor in the HGC).

If, after a PTS Rundown, the person feels fine but the persons
suppressing him are still making trouble, then the Ethics Officer
must require the person to have a SUPPRESSED PERSON RUNDOWN.

The first step of any interview must be the balance of this
policy letter, clearing up any misunderstood words or definitions
in it and making certain the person knows what "PTS" really
means.

Part of any handling may include the person being required to
take a course that is usually called "The PTS/SP Checksheet."

But in any case and in any handling, one cannot permit the person
to go on being PTS, as it can ruin his life.

               DEFINITION

Per HCO PL of 7 May 69, a PTS (meaning a potential trouble
source) Type A is a person "...intimately connected with persons
(such as marital or familial ties) of known antagonism to mental
or spiritual treatment or Scientology. In practice such persons,
even when they approach Scientology in a friendly fashion, have
such pressure continually brought to bear upon them by persons
with undue influence over them that they make very poor gains in
processing, and their interest is solely devoted to proving the
antagonistic element wrong."

           A SOURCE OF TROUBLE

Such persons with antagonistic family members are a source of
trouble to Scientology because their family members are not
inactive. In fact, from direct experience with inquiry after
inquiry into Scientology, it has been found that those who have
created the conditions which brought about the inquiry in the
first place and those who testified before same have been the
wives, husbands, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters or
grandparents of some Scientologist. Their testimony has been full
of such statements as "My son completely changed after he went
into Scientology -- he no longer was respectful to me." "My
daughter gave up a wonderful career as a hairdresser to go into
Scientology." "My sister got these funny staring eyes the way all
Scientologists have."

Their testimony was illogical and their descriptions of what
occurred were untrue, but the point of the matter is that such
persons DID cause Scientology, Scientology orgs and fellow
Scientologists a great deal of trouble and difficulty.

         DON'T CREATE ANTAGONISM

Many Scientologists in their misunderstanding and misapplication
of Scientology create the conditions that bring about the
antagonism in the first place. A few illustrations of how this is
done are as follows:

Scientologist to mother: "I now know where you are on the Tone
Scale -- 1.1. Boy, are you sneaky!" (Evaluation and invalidation)

Father to Scientologist: "Now, I don't want you to borrow the car
again without my permission. I have told you time and time..."
Scientologist to father: "OKAY! FINE! OKAY! GOOD! THANK YOU! I
GOT THAT!" (Not an acknowledgment but an effort to shut up the
father.)

Scientologist to older brother: "You murdered me in a past life,
you dirty dog!" (Evaluation and invalidation)

Mother to Scientologist: "Whatever are you doing?" Scientologist
to mother: "I'm trying to confront your dreadful bank."
(Invalidation)

There are so many ways to misuse tech and to invalidate and
evaluate for others in a destructive fashion to bring about
bypassed charge, ARC breaks and upset that they cannot all be
possibly listed. The idea is NOT to do so. Why create trouble for
yourself and for your fellow Scientologists, as nothing will have
been gained but ill-will?

                THE WHY

Per HCO PL of 7 Mar. 65R III it is a CRIME to be or become a PTS
without reporting it or taking action or to receive processing
while PTS. Further, as per HCO PL of 7 May 69, a PTS may not be
trained.

This means that a person who is PTS may not receive processing or
training while PTS and it also means that they had better do
something to handle their condition.

In the original (now reinstated) policy, the PTS individual was
required to handle or disconnect before he or she could continue
with training or processing. Many took the easy course and merely
disconnected "temporarily" for the time of their training or
processing and so they did not in actual fact handle the
condition in their lives which was upsetting them as
Scientologists. In some cases, there was a misapplication of the
tech, as their situations were totally handleable with the use of
simple Scientology basics.

Now a very workable system for handling PTS Type A situations has
been developed, as covered in this policy letter, in HCOB 10 Aug.
73, PTS HANDLING; HCOB 8 Mar. 83, HANDLING PTS SITUATIONS; and in
HCOB 31 Dec. 78 II, OUTLINE OF PTS HANDLING.

Following the steps given in these issues and making full use of
all bulletins and policies on the subject of PTS handling will
ensure situations get terminatedly handled.

Each PTS individual should, as one step of his handling, report
to Ethics and, with the assistance of Ethics, find a Why as to
his familial antagonism and then set about actually handling the
situation. The Why could be that his parents wanted him to be a
lawyer and so blame Scientology that he is not one, rather than
the fact that he flunked out of law school and couldn't stand the
thought of being a lawyer!

Or perhaps the Why is that the Scientologist keeps writing her
parents for money or the Why could be that the mother has just
read an entheta newspaper article.

In any case, the Why should be found and the PTS individual
should then do whatever is necessary to handle.

                HANDLING

The person who is PTS should be declared as such by Ethics and
should not receive Scientology training or processing until the
situation has been handled. (The exception to this is a full PTS
Rundown done in the HGC.)

The handling could be as simple as writing to one's father and
saying, "I do not complain that you are a janitor, please do not
complain that I am a Scientologist. The important thing is that I
am your son and that I love and respect you. I know you love me,
but please learn to respect me as an adult individual who knows
what he wants in life." Or it could be as follows: "I am writing
to you, Daddy, because Mother keeps sending me these dreadful
newspaper clippings and they are upsetting to me because I know
they are not true. You do not do this and so it is easier for me
to write to you."

Again there are as many ways of handling as there are Whys found.
Each case is individual. Remember, too, there is always the
possibility of a NO situation. And if the person thinks he's PTS
and isn't, he can get sick. Or if he insists he isn't and is, he
can also get upset. So find if there IS a situation first.

It is the purpose of Ethics to ensure that the situation is
handled.

Nothing in this policy letter shall ever or under any
circumstances justify any violations of the laws of the land or
intentional legal or moral wrongs.

  HCOB 17 Apr. 72   C/S Series 76
                    C/Sing A PTS RUNDOWN

Interviews to discover a PTS condition are done on a meter with
all reads marked.

The interview asks (a) about persons who are hostile or
antagonistic to the pc, (b) about groups that are anti-
Scientology, (c) about people who have harmed the pc, (d) about
things that the pc thinks are suppressive to the pc, (e) about
locations that are suppressive to the pc and about past life
things and beings suppressive to the pc.

In doing the interview, the interviewer must realize that a sick
person is PTS. There are no sick people who are not PTS to
someone or a group or something somewhere.

A somewhat suppressive pc will find the good hats suppressive.
This does not relieve his condition. He is PTS to SP people,
groups, things or locations, no matter how SP he is.

He can have been audited by someone he knew in an earlier life
and who goofed the session. A few auditors have since been
declared. Not because they goofed but because they were SP.

However, some PTS pc will make trouble for good people because
that is what PTS means (potential trouble source). So do not buy
all the good people he is PTS to.

Further, when you do get the person or group or thing or
location, the PTS person will F/N VGI and begin to get well.

The PTS condition is actually a problem and a mystery and a
withdrawal, so it is sometimes hard to find and has to be
specially processed (3 S&Ds) to locate it.

Usually it is quite visible.

Don't have a sick, roller-coaster pc appear for interview and
then say "not PTS." It's a false report. It only means the
interviewer did not find it.

The pc sometimes begins to list in such an interview, and such an
interview where a wrong item is found has to be audited to
complete the list or find the right item. (See C/S Series 78,
HCOB 20 Apr. 72 II.)

So interview worksheets are VITAL.

The interview should end on an F/N.

The interview is followed by the ethics action of HCO PL 5 Apr.
72 or other ethics actions such as handling or disconnection and
posting as called for in policy.

An interviewer has to use good TRs and operate his meter properly
and know 2-way comm and PTS tech.

Some interviewers are extremely successful.

Such interviews and handling count as auditing hours.

When properly done, plus good auditing on the PTS RD, well people
result.

               PTS HANDLING

     (PTS = Potential Trouble Source)

There are two stable data which anyone has to have, understand
and KNOW ARE TRUE in order to obtain results in handling the
person connected to suppressives.

These data are:

1. That all illness in greater or lesser degree and all foul-ups
stem directly and only from a PTS condition.

2. That getting rid of the condition requires three basic
actions: (A) Discover; (B) Handle or disconnect.

Persons called upon to handle PTS people can do so very easily,
far more easily than they believe. Their basic stumbling block is
thinking that there are exceptions or that there is other tech or
that the two above data have modifiers or are not sweeping. The
moment a person who is trying to handle PTSes gets persuaded
there are other conditions or reasons or tech, he is at once lost
and will lose the game and not obtain results. And this is very
too bad because it is not difficult and the results are there to
be obtained.

To turn someone who may be PTS over to an auditor just to have
him mechanically audited may not be enough. In the first place
this person may not have a clue what is meant by PTS and may be
missing all manner of technical data on life and may be so
overwhelmed by a suppressive person or group that he is quite
incoherent. Thus, Just mechanically doing a process may miss the
whole show as it misses the person's understanding of why it is
being done.

A PTS person is rarely psychotic. But all psychotics are PTS if
only to themselves. A PTS person may be in a state of deficiency
or pathology which prevents a ready recovery, but at the same
time he will not fully recover unless the PTS condition is also
handled. For he became prone to deficiency or pathological
illness because he was PTS. And unless the condition is relieved,
no matter what medication or nutrition he may be given, he might
not recover and certainly will not recover permanently. This
seems to indicate that there are "other illnesses or reasons for
illness besides being PTS." To be sure there are deficiencies and
illnesses just as there are accidents and injuries. But strangely
enough, the person himself precipitates them because being PTS
predisposes him to them. In a more garbled way, the medicos and
nutritionists are always talking about "stress" causing illness.
Lacking full tech, they yet have an inkling that this is so
because they see it is somehow true. They cannot handle it. Yet
they recognize it, and they state that it is a senior situation
to various illnesses and accidents. Well, we have the tech of
this in more ways than one.

What is this thing called "stress"? It is more than the medico
defines it -- he usually says it comes from operational or
physical shock and in this he has too limited a view.

A person under stress is actually under a suppression on one or
more dynamics.

If that suppression is located and the person handles or
disconnects, the condition diminishes. If he also has all the
engrams and ARC breaks, problems, overts and withholds audited
out Triple Flow and if ALL such areas of suppression are thus
handled, the person would recover from anything caused by
"stress."

Usually, the person has insufficient understanding of life or any
dynamic to grasp his own situation. He is confused. He believes
all his illnesses are true because they occur in such heavy
books!

At some time he was predisposed to illness or accidents. When a
serious suppression then occurred, he suffered a precipitation or
occurrence of the accident or illness, and then with repeated
similar suppressions on the same chain, the illness or tendency
to accidents became prolonged or chronic.

To say then that a person is PTS to his current environment would
be very limited as a diagnosis. If he continues to do or be
something to which the suppressive person or group objected, he
may become or continue to be ill or have accidents.

Actually, the problem of PTS is not very complicated. Once you
have grasped the two data first given, the rest of it becomes
simply an analysis of how they apply to this particular person.

A PTS person can be markedly helped in three ways:

a. Gaining an understanding of the tech of the condition

b. Discovering to what or to whom he is PTS

c. Handling or disconnecting.

Someone with the wish or duty to find and handle PTSes has an
additional prior step: He must know how to recognize a PTS and
how to handle them when recognized. Thus, it is rather a waste of
time to engage in this hunt unless one has been checked out on
all the material on suppressives and PTSes and grasps it without
misunderstoods. In other words, the first step of the person is
to get a grasp of the subject and its tech. This is not difficult
to do; it may be a bit more difficult to learn to run an E-Meter
and considerably more difficult to learn how to list for items,
but there again this is possible and is much easier than trying
to grope around guessing.

With this step done, a person has no real trouble recognizing PTS
people and can have success in handling them which is very
gratifying and rewarding.

Let us consider the easiest level of approach:

i. Give the person the simpler HCOBs on the subject and let him
study them so that he knows the elements like "PTS" and
"suppressive." He may just cognite right there and be much
better. It has happened.

ii. Have him discuss the illness or accident or condition,
without much prodding or probing, that he thinks now may be the
result of suppression. He will usually tell you it is right here
and now or was a short time ago and will be all set to explain it
(without any relief) as stemming from his current environment or
a recent one. If you let it go at that, he would simply be a bit
unhappy and not get well as he is discussing usually a late lock
that has a lot of earlier material below it.

iii. Ask when he recalls first having that illness or having such
accidents. He will at once begin to roll this back and realize
that it has happened before. You don't have to be auditing him as
he is all too willing to talk about this in a most informal
manner. He will get back to some early this-lifetime point
usually.

iv. Now ask him who it was. He will usually tell you promptly.
And, as you are not really auditing him and he isn't going
backtrack and you are not trying to do more than key him out, you
don't probe any further.

v. You will usually find that he has named a person to whom he is
still connected! So you ask him whether he wants to handle or
disconnect. Now, as the sparks will really fly in his life if he
dramatically disconnects and if he can't see how he can, you
persuade him to begin to handle on a gradient scale. This may
consist of imposing some slight discipline on him, such as
requiring him to actually answer his mail or write the person a
pleasant good roads, good weather note or to realistically look
at how he estranged them. In short, what is required in the
handling is a low gradient. All you are trying to do is MOVE THE
PTS PERSON FROM EFFECT OVER TO SLIGHT GENTLE CAUSE.

vi. Check with the person again, if he is handling, and coach him
along, always at a gentle good-roads-and-good-weather level and
no H E and R (Human Emotion and Reaction), if you please.

That is a simple handling. You can get complexities such as a
person being PTS to an unknown person in his immediate vicinity
that he may have to find before he can handle or disconnect. You
can find people who can't remember more than a few years back.
You can find anything you can find in a case. But simple handling
ends when it looks pretty complex. And that's when you call in
the auditor.

But this simple handling will get you quite a few stars in your
crown. You will be amazed to find that while some of them don't
instantly recover, medication, vitamins, minerals will now work
when before they wouldn't. You may also get some instant recovers
but realize that if they don't you have not failed.

The auditor can do "3 S&Ds" after this with much more effect as
he isn't working with a completely uninformed person.

"3 S&Ds" only fail because of wrong items or because the auditor
did not then put in triple rudiments on the items and then audit
them out as engrams Triple Flow.

A being is rather complex. He may have a lot of sources of
suppression. And it may take a lot of very light auditing to get
him up to where he can do work on suppressives since these were,
after all, the source of his overwhelm. And what he did to THEM
might be more important than what they did to HIM but unless you
unburden HIM he may not get around to realizing that.

You can run into a person who can only be handled by Expanded
Dianetics.

But you have made an entrance and you have stirred things up and
gotten him more aware and just that way you will find he is more
at cause.

His illness or proneness to accidents may not be slight. You may
succeed only to the point where he now has a chance, by
nutrition, vitamins, minerals, medication, treatment, and above
all, auditing, of getting well. Unless you jogged this condition,
he had no chance at all: for becoming PTS is the first thing that
happened to him on the subject of illness or accidents.

Further, if the person has had a lot of auditing and yet isn't
progressing too well, your simple handling may all of a sudden
cause him to line up his case.

So do not underestimate what you or an auditor can do for a PTS.
And don't sell PTS tech short or neglect it. And don't continue
to transfer or push off or even worse tolerate PTS conditions in
people.

You CAN do something about it.

And so can they.

         HANDLING PTS SITUATIONS

  Refs:
  HCO PL 20 Oct. 81R   PTS TYPE A HANDLING
    Rev. 10.9.83
  HCOB   10 Aug. 73    PTS HANDLING

The following was taken from one of my taped lectures (7511C20)
and is hereby issued in HCOB form:

I coached a pc one time as to how to talk to his parents. I
coached him very, very carefully. This is a sort of MAA job, not
a C/S job. I made him repeat everything after me, very carefully:
"And when your mother says to you so and so and so and so, what
are you going to say?" It was simply good roads and good weather.
I forced him, at pain of being squashed, to follow that exact
patter with the parents. It was just good roads and good weather.

"Hello Mamma, how are you? How's Papa?" you know. And she says,
"Yeow, yeow, yeow, yeow, yeow and you whawha whawha." Just say,
"Well, all right, all right." Don't answer back and don't engage
in any argument of any kind whatsoever, Give it an ack. I said,
"You're calling them up just because you're passing through and
you were interested in how they were, and that is your whole
story." And he did, and that was the end of the whole situation.
Pc came back to battery. Relationships with the parents went
totally normal.

In other words, he was keeping it going -- his worry, his upset,
his letters, trying to answer their questions, his conversation
with them. Whereas I cut it all into just a pattern of something
on the order of about a tone 3.5 straight across the boards. That
was the end of the PTS condition.

A PTS condition also has outside handling steps. But you as an
auditor or you as a C/S are possibly limited by the fact that you
don't have an MAA, or you do not have somebody who is
sufficiently skilled in order to do this job for you. And it
winds up blowing everybody's head off.

In such an instance, just get hold of the guy and coach him in
exactly what he's going to say.

"Oh, but no, she'd never listen, she won't, she hasn't talked to
me for seven years! She won't talk to me in any way, shape or
form!"

"Well, all right, all right, all right. That's fine, good." You
get a little bit inventive and you say, "Well, when is her
birthday?" or something like that. The pc says, "Well, as a
matter of fact, it was a month or two ago." And you say, "Well,
all right, why don't you send her a birthday card and tell her
it's a belated birthday card and that you remembered her birthday
and always had kind thoughts of her?"

Now, the incoming comm may blow his head off. You just cool him
off. Don't engage in any corner of this; this is not the game
you're playing. You simply acknowledge any nice parts you can
find.

"Papa went hunting and you're a dirty dog and I've never seen the
like of you and you're an ungrateful brat and so on, and why
don't you be like your Great-Uncle Oscar who is now doing time in
Sing Sing and'll be executed next week?"

And you say, "I hope Daddy had a fine hunting trip."

It's the only part of it you answer. You coach him into two-way
comm that is well above 2.0 on the Tone Scale, that mostly
consists of acks and mild interest in what's going on. You'll
find out these conditions will evaporate, if you can prevent the
backflash from being responded to by the PTS person. In other
words, there are ways to handle this in real life.

You will find a great many people who are "PTS" are antagonizing
the people. They are antagonizing them beyond belief, and they're
telling them what's wrong with them and they're telling them this
and they're telling them that and the person eventually gets very
resentful.

Well, even that can be patched up. You are not doing anything at
the other end of the line. You cool off the PT scene sufficiently
one way or the other so that the person can sit in the auditing
chair.

    Re-rev. 13.11.77  AND HANDLING CHECKSHEET

PTS is a connection to an SP. That is true. But what may be
overlooked is that persons of the middle class (which is a
culture, not an income bracket, to which belong all the puritan
hypocritical mores of the cop and the get-a-job-be-a-moderate-
plugging-success) frown very terribly on anything that the least
bit tries to make a better world. The middle class wants the
world of a job and order and even hypocrisy and cops because they
are AFRAID. They hold their narrow views because any other views
may disturb their twenty-year house mortgage, the store, the job.
So when someone decides to make a better world, they look on him
as a direct menace even though the dull middle-class world is a
sort of slavery and suicide. It is the middle class that tries
the hardest to keep the down-and-outer out and down, who go along
with a cop America and hate support of anything not their class.
And nearly every PTS you have will be found one way or another to
be PTS to the middle class. As a group, not as individuals, the
middle-class-parent world suppresses anything different. So you
have PTSes.

The bulk of your PTSes may very well be PTS to a class, the
middle class of which their particular SP is simply a member. Few
of them realize this or even that the middle class (bourgeoisie)
ARE very suppressive to anyone who tries to do something in the
world besides support the system. My attitude in this is that
both the capitalist and communist are alike old hat and a bore,
that they've made a ruddy mess of things, exhausted the planet
and, with their senseless wars, smashed up mankind.

I have sometimes heard that less PTSes are found than are found
people with the question "Do you have problems in your
environment?" reading on a meter. I began to wonder about it.
Then I heard of PTSes being simply transferred or demoted. Now
listen, these people are PTS and there must be a total grasp on
that tech. It IS a tech.

It is definitely out-tech to either (1) transfer someone who is
PTS to another area yet still keep the person on one's lines or
(2) to put someone who is PTS on a lower post, AS A MEANS OF
HANDLING, as it is not handling at all.

The person has to handle. If he does so, he will begin to get
well and cease to have problems. The reasons he cannot handle are
because he tries to do it in the heroic fashion that is required
in a disconnect. Handling can be very, very gradient. I have seen
a case where the person was simply coached to give his parents
good roads and good weather and not take up any entheta and have
seen the person pull right out of it and get well. It doesn't
have to be an explosive handling. It can be very gentle. All you
want is the person at cause and that is attained on a gradient
toward the SP.

The whole crux of PTSes is HANDLE. And the misunderstood on it is
how gently one can handle.

Many of them are caught up in the mystery of why they are snarled
at and have no conception of the middle class as a formidable and
jealous force that goes psychotic when it feels anyone may get
away from the treadmill and threaten their uneasy and doomed
lives.

One tries to find what it is and then persuades them into
handling. That's the tech.

EVERY ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE CAN BE STRAIGHTENED OUT. EVERY ONE OF
THEM SHOULD BE.

Every one who reads on "problems in your environment" is to some
degree PTS. Most of them don't even know what the letters PTS
stand for. So there is an educational step, the PTS/SP
Checksheet. It does not mean they have been connected to ogres.
It means they are suppressed by someone or something, OFTEN FAR
EXTERIOR TO THEIR PRESENT POSITION OR AREA. So there is an
educational step. The tech is in HCO PLs and HCOBs. It is perhaps
given more directly herein, as it applies to that exact scene.

So go to it. Really get a grip on it. And handle the hell out of
them yourselves.

                  THEORY

Perhaps the most fundamental right of any being is the right to
communicate. Without this freedom, other rights deteriorate.

Communication, however, is a two-way flow. If one has the right
to communicate, then one must also have the right to not receive
communication from another. It is this latter corollary of the
right to communicate that gives us our right to privacy.

These rights are so basic that governments have written them into
laws-witness the American Bill of Rights.

However, groups have always regulated these rights to one degree
or another. For with the freedom to communicate come certain
agreements and responsibilities.

An example of this is a marriage: In a monogamous society, the
agreement is that one will be married to only one person at one
time. That agreement extends to having second-dynamic relations
with one's spouse and no one else. Thus, should wife Shirley
establish a 2D-type of communication line with someone other than
her husband Pete, it is a violation of the agreement and
postulates of the marriage. Pete has the right to insist that
either this communication cease or that the marriage will cease.

           HANDLE OR DISCONNECT

In the HCOBs on PTS tech you'll see the phrase "handle or
disconnect." It means simply that.

The term "handle" most commonly means, when used in relation to
PTS tech, to smooth out a situation with another person by
applying the tech of communication.

The term "disconnection" is defined as a self-determined decision
made by an individual that he is not going to be connected to
another. It is a severing of a communication line.

The basic principle of handle or disconnect exists in any group
and ours is no different.

It is much like trying to deal with a criminal. If he will not
handle, the society resorts to the only other solution: It
"disconnects" the criminal from the society. In other words, they
remove the guy from society and put him in a prison because he
won't HANDLE his problem or otherwise cease to commit criminal
acts against others.

It's the same sort of situation that husband Pete is faced with
in the example mentioned above. The optimum solution is to handle
the situation with wife Shirley and her violations of their group
(marriage) agreements. But if Pete cannot handle the situation,
he is left with no other choice but to disconnect (sever the
marriage communication lines if only by separation). To do
otherwise would be disastrous, for he is connected to someone
antagonistic to the original agreements, postulates and
responsibilities of the group (the marriage).

A Scientologist can become PTS by reason of being connected to
someone that is antagonistic to Scientology or its tenets. In
order to resolve the PTS condition, he either HANDLES the other
person's antagonism (as covered in the materials on PTS handling)
or, as a last resort when all attempts to handle have failed, he
disconnects from the person. He is simply exercising his right to
communicate or not to communicate with a particular person.

With our tech of handle or disconnect, we are, in actual fact,
doing nothing different than any society or group or marriage
down through thousands of years.

                LOST TECH

Earlier, disconnection as a condition was canceled. It had been
abused by a few individuals who'd failed to handle situations
which could have been handled and who lazily or criminally
disconnected, thereby creating situations even worse than the
original because it was the wrong action.

Secondly, there were those who could survive only by living on
our lines -- they wanted to continue to be connected to
Scientologists (see the HCOBs on the characteristics of an SP).
Thus, they screamed to high heaven if anyone dared to apply the
tech of "handle or disconnect."

This put Scientologists at a disadvantage.

We cannot afford to deny Scientologists that basic freedom that
is granted to everyone else: the right to choose whom one wishes
to communicate with or not communicate with. It's bad enough that
there are governments trying, through the use of force, to
prevent people from disconnecting from them (witness those who
want to leave Russia but can't!).

The bare fact is that disconnection is a vital tool in handling
PTSness and can be very effective when used correctly.

Therefore, the tech of disconnection is hereby restored to use,
in the hands of those persons thoroughly and standardly trained
in PTS/SP tech.

        HANDLING ANTAGONISTIC SOURCES

In the great majority of cases, where a person has some family
member or close associate who appears antagonistic to his getting
better through Scientology, it is not really a matter of the
antagonistic source wanting the PTS to not get better. It is most
commonly a lack of correct information about Scientology that
causes the problem or upset. In such a case, simply having the
PTS disconnect would not help matters and would actually be a
nonconfront of the situation. It is quite common that the PTS has
a low confront on the terminal and situation. This isn't hard to
understand when one looks at these facts:

a. To be PTS in the first place, the PTS must have committed
overts against the antagonistic source; and

b. When one has committed overts, his confront and responsibility
drop.

When an Ethics Officer finds that a Scientologist is PTS to a
family member, he does not recommend that the person disconnect
from the antagonistic source. The EO's advice to the
Scientologist is to handle.

The handling for such a situation is to educate him in the tech
of PTSness and suppression, and then skillfully and firmly guide
the PTS through the steps needed to restore good communication
with the antagonistic source. This eventually dissolves the
situation by bringing about an understanding on the part of the
antagonistic source as to what Scientology is and why the PTS
person is interested and involved in it. Of course, when this is
accomplished you no longer have a PTS at all -- and you may very
well find a new Scientologist on your hands!

The actual steps and procedure of this sort of handling are well
covered in the materials listed at the beginning of this HCOB.

        WHEN DISCONNECTION IS USED

An Ethics Officer can encounter a situation where someone is
factually connected to a suppressive person, in present time.
This is a person whose normal operating basis is one of making
others smaller, less able, less powerful. He does not want anyone
to get better, at all.

In truth, an SP is absolutely, completely terrified of anyone
becoming more powerful.

In such an instance the PTS isn't going to get anywhere trying to
"handle" the person. The answer is to sever the connection.

            HOW TO DISCONNECT

How a disconnection is done depends on the circumstances.

Example: The pc lives next door to, say, a psychiatric clinic and
feels PTS due to this environment. The remedy is simple -- the pc
can move to another apartment in another location. He need not
write any sort of "disconnection letter" to the psychiatric
clinic. He simply changes his environment -- which is, in effect,
a disconnection from the suppressive environment.

Example: A pc is connected to a person or group that has been
declared suppressive by HCO in a published Ethics Order. He
should disconnect and, if he wants to inform the SP of the fact,
he may write a letter of disconnection. Such a letter would be
very straightforward. It would state the fact of the
disconnection and the reason for it. It would not be misemotional
or accusative, since this would only serve to stir up further
antagonism. The letter would be inspected by the Ethics Officer
before it was sent and copies kept for the PTS person's own
ethics file and pc folder. No attempt would be made to establish
communication with the declared SP "to clear matters up" or to
seek to reform the SP. The SP's reform is strictly in the hands
of HCO. The PTS simply disconnects.

Example: One discovers that an employee at his place of business
is an SP -- he steals money, drives away customers, wipes out
other employees and will not correct no matter what you do. The
handling is very simple -- the PTS fires him and that's the end
of it right there!

To fail or refuse to disconnect from a suppressive person not
only denies the PTS case gain, it is also supportive of the
suppressive -- in itself a Suppressive Act. And it must be so
labeled. (Ref: HCO PL 23 Dec. 65RA, SUPPRESSIVE ACTS, SUPPRESSION
OF SCIENTOLOGY AND SCIENTOLOGISTS)

         SUPPRESSED PERSON RUNDOWN

There is of course another technical way to handle PTSes and that
is to get them through all problems they have had with the
terminal involved and the PTSness will disappear (Ref: HCOB 29
Dec. 78, THE SUPPRESSED PERSON RUNDOWN). But it still requires
that during the handling the person disconnects.

                 SUMMARY

The technology of disconnection is essential in the handling of
PTSes. It can and has saved lives and untold trouble and upset.
It must be preserved and used correctly.

Nothing in this HCOB shall ever or under any circumstances
justify any violations of the laws of the land. Any such offense
shall subject the offender to penalties described by law as well
as to ethics and justice actions.
